The Odd Mind

Reading is for the mind, Writing is for the soul.

Hot on the heels of the wonderful review that 'Legacy of the Ripper' received on Amazon.co.uk yesterday, another terrific review has appeared, this time on the site of Amazon.com from reviewer Barbara Watkins. I'm thrilled that the book has been so well received so far and that it has received such praise from readers in the last two days.

This is Barbara Watkins' review:

5.0 out of 5 stars Prepare yourself; Jack is back!), October 22, 2009

"Legacy of the Ripper' by Brian Porter...

You know the part in the front of a book that reads, 'This book is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents are products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously' - Brian Porter writes in such a style that it's difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. What I mean by that is, his portrayal of the characters are so brilliantly mastered that when reading you tend to believe they exist. His unique ability to not only draw you into the story, to make you feel as if you're experiencing the terror, is disturbing - yet invigorating...

After reading 'A study in Red' I found myself thinking about the book often and hoped this talented author would grace us with a sequel - thankfully he did and it's entitled 'Legacy of the Ripper.' Once again he takes the reader deep into the bowel of Whitechapel and into the mind of a sadistic serial killer known as 'Jack the Ripper' then into the mind of another killer known as 'Jack Reid' or is he? Has Jack Reid inherited his ancestors murderous traits? You walk in the shoes of Dr. Ruth Truman, the psychiatrist assigned to evaluate Jack Reid, and Jack Reid himself as they narrate much of this horrific and disturbing tale. You're introduced to many new players in this masterpiece and all are colorful and intriguing.

There is not any doubt you will be left wanting more. Will we see a sequel to this second masterpiece of terror? I bloody well hope so!
